Fidesz MEP rejects ‘constant attacks on Poland’
"I reject the constant attacks against Poland and demand more respect for Polish voters," Balazs Hidveghi, MEP of Hungary's ruling Fidesz said in a plenary session of the European Parliament on the rule of law in Poland, on Wednesday.
The MEP spoke Polish in the first part of his address and said “the Polish are a proud, confident, and successful nation, who can walk its own way without constant lecturing from the West.”
Hidveghi suggested that MEPs of Poland’s Civic Platform were behind recent “attacks” and said “you are mistaken when you think that if you cannot win elections at home … here in Strasbourg and Brussels you can attack your own country and countrymen in cooperation with all kinds of radical leftists.”
He called on the Polish opposition to “stop attacking your own countrymen … it is not right!”
